What are babies thinking? Help us find out! At the UMass Boston Baby Lab, we study how babies perceive the world around them and how they learn from it. Particularly, we study language learning, short term memory, and auditory and visual development. 
When you come in for a visit, your baby would simply sit on your lap and watch a short video while we measure where your baby is looking on the screen. Visits typically last about 30-60 minutes. We offer $20, free parking, and a small thank you gift. 
We are currently recruiting infants and toddlers between the ages of 2-11 months and 14-30 months. 
If you would like to participate, you can sign up online at http://babylab.youcanbook.me/ or call us at 617-287-6363. 
Cost: We pay you! 
We are easily accessible from I-93 and have free parking available on the UMass Boston campus. We are also on the Red Line (JFK/UMass station).
